Buried Without Ceremony - Games that mean something. My name is Avery Alder. For the past thirteen years I’ve been designing tabletop roleplaying games about community, doubt, queerness, and apocalypse.

Hello, new followers!

My name is Avery, and I'm a tabletop roleplaying game designer who makes games about self-doubt, queerness, community, and the apocalypse. Learn more here: buriedwithoutceremony.com

I also talk about the necessity of an anticapitalist, decolonized, gender-liberated world.

A Response To Rascal Hi, Jay here.

I think everyone who read the rascal article or just saw the headline or even just heard the jist second-hand needs to read Jay's response.

So. Along with the obvious ridiculous stuff with the Neopets RPG, it does point to a couple of things non-ridiculous and non-scam designers should consider when making an RPG.

If anyone has leads on a job, preferably in the non-profit sector or something similar, please send them my way.

Will the players be more satisfied by discussing it without abstraction? IMO, combat is often abstracted when relevant because talking out "who would win" is more headache-inducing than fruitful without structure.

Seriously.
Starbucks is the biggest violator of labor law in modern history.
We have the power to tell them union-busting is bad for business.
Don't shop at Starbucks until they do better by their baristas!

If Starbucks won’t respect workers at the bargaining table, they don’t deserve our clicks or orders.

Our call to action is simple:

January A bundle by Chris Bissette, Β£150.00 for 60 games

Hello. It's my final week as a full time game designer, and as if to underline why I can't do this anymore, I currently can't afford to cover my bills at the end of the month.

All of my work on itch is on sale. Tell your friends, buy something, thank you very much.

Boycott, divest from, or exclude from contracts these complicit US companies.

I played Sim Safari as a little kid. I strongly remember hiring a ton of guys to drive tourists around (because I liked seeing the jeep roll around the roads) and then being frustrated when an advisor very sternly confronted me about how many drivers were being laid off due to oversaturation.

You know Alex Pretti & Renee Goodβ€”the 2 white people ICE killed.

ICE has also killed Keith Porter, a Black man, Parady La, a Cambodian man, & 5 Latinosβ€”Heber Sanchaz DomΓ­nguez, Victor Manuel Diaz, Luis Beltran Yanez-Cruz, Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres, and Geraldo Lunas Campos.

9 TOTAL.

ABOLISH ICE.

cool things you should ask your local Democratic candidates this primary season:
- do you support abolishing ICE
- do you support prosecuting ICE agents
- do you support abolishing the filibuster
- do you support passing the PRO Act, which would repeal the Taft-Hartley ban on solidarity strikes

interesting point! I tend to assume the difference is more in political leaning. the con-attending population of the furry community is *very* queer, which I think has it lean more left (and therefore more likely to value masking) than the con-attending TTRPG community.
